Addressing Women's Health Inequities through Technology: From Maternal Mortality to Cancer articulates the potential of medical informatics coupled with innovative healthcare delivery models to address persistent and pervasive global health disparities that women face. Specifically, the book focuses on the intersection between women's cancers and sexual and reproductive health and the ways in which health technologies will continue to tackle these inequities. With the advent of point-of-care technologies, there is no better time to disrupt the status quo to reimagine the future of health care for marginalized communities, in particular, women.

In addition, new opportunities are covered, particularly those from a growing cadre of female innovators. As technologies and hospitals get more sophisticated, more and more individuals, particularly those from disadvantaged communities, are denied access because of both visible (structural, logistical) and invisible (social, educational) barriers. These trends, though unfortunate, present a new opportunity.
